"I firmly wish that my face reflecting the intimate pains of my soul, the suffering and love of my heart,
be more honored! Whoever gazes upon me already consoles me."

(Our Lord Jesus Christ to Blessed Maria Pierina de Micheli)

Nine Hour Novenato theMost Holy Face of Jesus

Hour Five

†

Preparatory Prayer

O Most Holy and Blessed Trinity,
through the intercession of Holy Mary,
whose soul was pierced through by a sword of sorrow
at the sight of the Passion of her Divine Son,
we ask Your help in making a perfect Novena
of Reparation with Jesus,
united with all His sorrows,
love, and total abandonment.

We now implore all the Angels and Saints
to intercede for us as we pray this Holy Novena
to the Most Holy Face of Jesus
and for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

"Make me hear rejoicing and gladness,
that the bones you have crushed may revive.
From my sins turn away your Face,
and blot out all my guilt."
[Ps. 51: 10-11]

Most Holy Face of Jesus,
Sacred Countenance of God,
how great is Your patience with mankind,
how infinite Your forgiveness.

We are sinners,
yet You love us.

This gives us courage.

For the glory of Your Holy Face
and of the Blessed Trinity,
hear and answer us.
